Northley, Deanery of Honyton

Alms-house, hospital or charitable endowment:
There is no Almshouse or Hospital: but there are Lands of about the Value of five pounds yearly, which I think have not been apply’d of late years, so properly as they ought. There is but one Feoffee left; but I have a now got the Writings in my Possession in Order to have a new Enfeoffment made, and then I hope every thing will be set right.

Curate: I have no resident Curate; but having receiv’d a Fall from my Horse some years ago which Disabled me from supplying my Cure, and my Benefice being small (the Value of the whole parish being but £320 yearly) I have four of my Neighbours namely Mr Somaster Rector of Widworthy, Mr Hall vicar of Salcomb, Mr Lewis Vicar of Buckrel & Mr Keate Curate of Southleigh, who serve it by Turns once every Sunday generally in the afternoon, for doing which, I allow them twenty pounds yearly.
